There is something truly hypnotic about staring into a flame….then multiply its power into a bonfire and one can get lost in its reds and yellows and blues. Your first lines are amazing. Imagery in the second stanza has me twirling the words around thoughtfully, like I sometimes twist a strand of hair by my ear to think about something perplexing. And the last stanza wraps it up….at a certain point….
This is such a thought provoking piece! Really really enjoyed, especially reading it aloud.
